First flight gone bad
Was gonna take out my staggerwing bipe for a fly, but since its been 2 years since Ive flown, I decided to give the old Cox Ezbee a fly first to get back into things.
I get the ezbee fired up, set it to full throttle and gave it a toss. ( Now I remember why I switched to electric, man its loud!)
Once I got it a couple mistakes high, I started foolin around, all is well untill I do a loop and never came out. Servo musthave jumped out of its hole and locked the elevator on max up!
Oh ****! its totally out of control, I could just watch as this little plane did loop after loop, I #$@! u not, the foam wing on that plane was bent into a u shape from the g forces, I didnt think foam could bend that much without breaking! The rubberbands holding the wing on were stretched to the max, there was a good 1/2 foot of space between the wing and fuse.
The damned thing stayed together! At this point I was hoping it would come apart because it was slowing making its way away from my field and towards a house, just kept looping, and looping. Come on, break, run out of gas, somebody got a shotgun!
Good lord, enough to give an old man a heart attack! Luckily it exploded into a tree branch just before leaving the field and exploding into someones house.
Damn, I need some tequila
